Sixteen Lutheran Campus Ministry students enjoyed the Labor Day Weekend in San Diego. We met with eight students from the University of Arizona for worship and breakfast on Mission Bay. Northern Arizona University was unable to attend this year. On our own, we had times of discussion, opportunities for group building, beach time, free time to roam Balboa Park & its myriad museums, surf, experience a stingray sting, and even do some homework. We left Tempe as acquaintances and returned as a community.
If you’re interested in being a part of this community, Lutheran Campus Ministry meets every Wednesday in our Campus Center: 5:00 Bible Study; 5:30 free meal (Grab N Go option available); 6:30 Contemporary worship. Masks and social distancing required.
We got off to a great start last Sunday with the Opening of the Academic Year, return of students, and return of more church members. Students enjoyed their first meal as well.
This week while remaining masked, we will introduce a bit of singing into worship. As we did last week, Holy Communion will be distributed with pre-cut pieces of bread handed out by tongs and individual glasses of wine/grape juice. Glasses are socially distanced in the trays and all distributing communion are masked. We do have sign ups now for lectors, ushers, and communion assistants or you can call the church office (480-967-3543) to sign up.
We continue to work toward live-streaming worship and think this may happen mid September. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work to be safe and provide a good worship experience.
